Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jun 14, 2010 2:01 pm Hello Long time reader, first time poster I'm after a bit of colour advice. The colour of our kitchen cabinets are shannon oak (100% gloss) http://www.polytec.com.au/images/sample ... on_oak.jpg I am having so much trouble picking a bench top to match. I wanted a gloss white benchtop but decided against it as alot of people say it will wear down and scratch easy. Im not sure about the matt white .... I do want a light benchtop, i would of liked something with a bit of a patern in it but will it be too much seeing the cabinets are quite detailed? Any advice you could give me would be muchly appreciated!!

I know they say to start from the floor up but we fell in love with the shannon oak gloss cabinets and was going to work the colours around it Building in Darch 2010 (NOR PERTH) Land Titles Released 25/06/10 Land Settlement 14/07/10 Prestart Completed 17/08/10 Plans in Council 16/08/10 Building Licence Approved 22/09/10 Slab Poured 30/09/10 Bricking Started 14/10/10 Bricking Finished 26/10/10 Our Journey!! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36447 Our Blog Spot! http://joelnjayedarch.blogspot.com/ Re: Please help with kitchen bentop :) 4Jun 14, 2010 5:01 pm That makes things a bit easier for you. I have looked at the samples and I dont mind the look of 'snow fabrini". It is a bit hard to chose from a web page. Are you able to get to a display centre or can you have some large samples sent out to you? Building in Bella Vista Waters Sydney.

I think I might have posted some photos on here a long time ago. Cheers I was being kind to the builder.

Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7137 |
